Book excerpt: In 1389, a great battle occurred in Kosovo, on the Field of Blackbirds, which would live in infamy in Serbian historical memory. The Battle of Kosovo between the Ottoman, Sultan Murad, and Serbian, Prince Lazar, was the final Serbian defense against Ottoman encroachment and occupation of the Balkans. Many significant international events have taken place on the anniversary of the Battle, called Vidovdan, such as the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the expulsion of Yugoslavia from the Soviet Politburo. The Serbian people have remembered continued to commemorate the Battle for over 600 years, although it was considered among Serbs to be a decisive defeat. The Serbian commemorative expression of the Battle of Kosovo has evolved over time and can be loosely defined in four time periods.
